Dear Cowpie,
I've found a lot of great music on your sight and I
thought I would try to make a contribution. There is a
existing transcription of this song on your sight but
it is in a different key from the original recorded
version. I tried to keep it basic and as close to the
original recording as my ears would let me.
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY

HEAR THE LONESOME WHIPERWILL
(FILL2)
HE SOUNDS TOO BLUE TO FLY
A E
THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN IS WHINING LOW
B7 E (FILL1)
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
E
I'VE NEVER SEEN A NIGHT SO LONG
(FILL2)
WHEN TIME GOES CRAWLING BY
A E
THE MOON JUST WENT BEHIND A CLOUD
B7 E (FILL1)
TO HIDE IT'S FACE AND CRY
E
DID YOU EVER SEE A ROBIN WEEP
(FILL2)
WHEN LEAVES BEGIN TO DIE
A E
THAT MEANS HE'S LOST THE WILL TO LIVE
B7 E (FILL1)
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
E
THE SILENCE OF A FALLING STAR
(FILL2)
LIGHTS UP A PURPLE SKY
A E
AND AS I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
B7 E
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY
NOTE: I LIKE TO MUTE THE BASS LINE AND FINGER PICK THE
HIGHER NOTES
